Default 1964 vintage 700 ADL in 222 Remington.....

What's it worth.....? Serial number is 5 digits - 74XXX..........

An old guy down the street has this rifle and it is probably 98%+ on the bluing. Even the metal, mag box, etc. under the stock level looks new. It has sat in a coat closet for the past 20 years with occasional wipe downs and oiling of metal.

The stock is in very good condition as far as dings go, but the 60's vintage thick varnish finish is age cracked in numerous place. He had sling swivel studs installed by a gun smith. Very good job and they come with white spacer which were big back then.

The rife has been shot some, but it has never had a scope mounted on it. Old style 700 sights are in place. Original aluminum butt plate. Metal trigger guard. The bore looks mint. The rifle is old enough that the action has the old style stripper clip slot cut into the rear bridge like the early 700's had.

The wood appears to have some good color variations and streaks in it, but no crotch wood or anything like that...

Anyway..........what would be a fair price for all involved to pay for it? Does the age and condition do anything for its value...? If I buy it, the varnish will go and it will get replaced with an oil finish...


TIA - BCB
